Copyright violation[edit]

As stated at de:Diskussion:Der heimliche Aufmarsch, the text of the poem is not in the public domain, because the author was dead in 1953. --Trek00 (talk) 23:42, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; I believe the German copyright will expire at the end of 2023. The lyrics should not appear in the article until after that date. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:06, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

December 31 is the end of the year. Not November 8. — Diannaa (talk) 16:53, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I can find evidence of a recorded version of the song existing in 1927[edit]

Found a dutch version[edit]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsnbKkPsxk8 This is a dutch version of this song, called "De Heimelijke Opmars". At this point, i'm half- expecting an English version to show up. 179.73.199.17 (talk) 08:13, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's 2024 now. Can we re-add the lyrics?[edit]

The end of 2023 has passed, i'm pretty sure the text of the poem is public domain by this point. The author died in 1953, and according to the discussion above, the German copyright was set to expire at the end of 2023, which was last year. Weinert's name is even in the 2024 in public domain list, with Der heimliche Aufsmarch linked right next to his name. Can anyone re-add the lyrics now? I mean, the only reason we couldn't add the lyrics before is because of the now-expired copyright. Correct me if i'm wrong, but with the copyright expired, it should now be possible to re-add the lyrics. 179.54.218.116 (talk) 15:56, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding lyrics to the article[edit]

Hi everyone, i'm adding lyrics to the article. And i know they might be a bit janky, so feel free to improve them. Maybe even add the cold-war lyrics while you're at it. Or don't, i'm not your dad. 191.135.55.141 (talk) 14:14, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please take those wikilinks out of them. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 14:15, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
